Now, the fortunate side is that it was the most benign, weird, freak injury that went away after a few days.

So now I'm like, great, I'm having a fully healthy, amazing offseason.

And yeah, but that kind of stuff happens.

That's just how it goes.

I'm used to bad luck stuff happening to me in my career, so I'm not surprised at all.

I mean, everyone that I talk to knows, yeah.

That was my initial feeling.

I made it clear to you.

I made it clear to everybody.

I'd love to come back here and continue to play for the Red Sox.

It's the most fun I've ever had having a season with a team in the big leagues.

I feel like the way it ended left such a bad taste in my mouth and the rest of the team, particularly...

me not being able to pitch in that playoff series, it really sucked.

And it's like, man, I really hope I can come back and it goes a little bit better for us next time.

But it's got to be a mutual thing.

And so going into...

free agency, you know, for me, I'm not going into free agency hurt, but for front offices, they might view it that way.

And I'm happy to prove that I'm fully healthy in any way possible.

Obviously I have, when you sign with a team, you have to pass a physical.

So there you go.
